The question was find all students whose name ends in the letter "x". I just tried this same query in the playground and it worked fine. When I try it in the quiz it tells me I am wrong. This is what I used:
SELECT * FROM students WHERE last_name LIKE "%x";

Treehouse TeacherHey Mary! That's now been added as a correct answer. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Try replacing the double quotes (") with single quotes/apostrophes ('). I'll bet you pass then.
This is probably a bug. You might want to report it to Support.

6,321 PointsThanks everyone - I didn't get a chance to see Steven's note first to try single quotes before it was corrected, but glad it was fixed and I wasn't losing my mind in trying to see what was wrong!

230,230 PointsThey fixed it before you reported it? How's that for service!
Mary Urban
6,321 PointsNo, I meant I saw your reply and Ben's at the same time so I didn't get a chance to try the single quotes.
Steven Parker
230,230 PointsRight, and Ben's reply says it was already corrected.
